Reviews of the Musical The American stage may as well take a bow this morning. For Lady in the Dark uses the resources of the theatre magnificently and tells a compassionate story triumphantly. --Brooks Atkinson, New York Times Lady in the Dark demonstrates with fine conclusiveness that Miss Gertrude Lawrence is the greatest feminine performer in the theater. --Richard Watts, Jr., New York Herald Tribune For both as an example of stagecraft at its most breath-taking, and as an invitation to a performance by Gertrude Lawrence which is incredible in its virtuosity, Lady in the Dark is little short of miraculous. --John Mason Brown, New York Post Praise for Lady in the Dark: Biography of a Musical by bruce d. mcclung mcclung illustrates both the significance of Lady in the Dark as an inventive musical and the specifically modern nature of its themes. --Diana Calderazzo, Theatre Journal Highly valuable to scholars, students and fans of musical theatre, this book offers a prototype for how future 'biographies' of other shows might be written.... In considering the show through over 65 years of developments and production history the full 'life' of this musical is given real depth. --Studies in Musical Theatre mcclung's book is a satisfying, well-organized, and very thorough study of a musical that will hopefully nudge Broadway scholarship in a new direction. --Elmar Juchem, American Music A fine piece of work that should help nudge studies of the Broadway musical in significant new directions by proving the benefits of careful attention to sources and contexts. --Tim Carter, Kurt Weill Newsletter mcclung has written an absorbing account of virtually every detail that went into the making of an innovative show. Filled with clear musical and dramatic descriptions, his exhaustively documented account of Lady in the Dark traces not only the portrayal of psychotherapy and gender identity on the musical stage, but also the evolution of attitudes to musical theater itself during the middle of the twentieth century. --Thomas Riis, University of Colorado at Boulder bruce mcclung engagingly illuminates Lady in the Dark as it evolved from Moss Hart's real-life sessions with noted psychiatrist Dr. Lawrence Kubie into Hart's historic theatrical collaboration with Ira Gershwin and Kurt Weill, a tour de force for its legendary first lady Gertrude Lawrence. Thanks to mcclung, we are no longer in the dark about the artistic meaning and rich cultural context of this fascinating and timely show, which captivated America's attention and left an enduring but previously unexplored legacy. --Geoffrey Block, University of Puget Sound mcclung is adept at chronicling Broadway's glamour and the backstage idiosyncrasies of its stars. Given Lady's size--and the demands of its lead--there has yet to be a Broadway revival. His book is the next best thing. --Debra Griboff, Encore Magazine
